Sigh...some of you guys can't resist talking about this without using spoiler tags, can't you?

Remember that not everyone wants to be spoiled about this and almost nobody outside of Japan has seen the episode.

Course put this down to the fact neither series were even in production when r2 was made and the fact that each of the people working in either Akito and Oz don't communicate with one another, so consistent continuity and all those sort of stuff tend to be affected.

Plus I'm hoping it isn't Lelouch in that picture, as I fear if it is, then they will focus attention there instead of on the Akito characters like they should be doing. Lulu's story is done, I don't think we need to see anymore on him, On Suzaku and C.C, well that's another discussion for another thread.

But we have this episode of Akito and two more to go, so will have to wait and see, but I can't help but be a bit concerned about this.

Let's see...

Only time will tell, but I don't think it's especially hard to see how the new projects might possibly tie-in. Obviously any new material will always have the issue of bringing up content that did not exist beforehand and couldn't be retroactively referenced in earlier productions. This is true for Gundam and it is true for Code Geass.

Doesn't necessarily create any continuity problems, since it's not like people need to discuss foreign news or the entire history of the world when they're dealing with more recent developments in other regions. The original events of R2 are far too Japan-centric (even with the visit to the Chinese Federation) and that goes for the interests of the characters as well.

I also think it's an exaggeration to claim this is becoming "Lelouch's story" when the character in question had very little screen time in episode two and will never be the protagonist. Just a secondary member of the cast, albeit one that the fans will take an obvious interest in.

Not to mention that, regardless of this person's real identity, Julius is effectively not Lelouch by definition. He won't think or act like him.

Corrected my mistake earlier, you make a good point, yes for all we know he may be very different from Lelouch, most of my words are more of fear, but I have faith the writers will work it out. I just wonder if it that person is Lelouch (has any noticed how the eyepatch seems to have the symbol of Ashford on it though it look more like kor symbol as well, nice purple tinsel at the end of eyepatch, they sure love those jewels don't they), for me makes me wonder what else did Charles use Lelouch for during r1 and r2 if he is Julius Kingsley, nice ref of Caesar and Lelouch's all king shall lead view, as a fanfic writer, sometimes it get's frustrating when new info like this comes out.

but of course i'm sure this will be worked out in the end so have to wait and see, hope this does mesh altogether as r2 at times could definitely leave someone scratching their heads at stuff but I digress.

-Klaus seems to be a traitor/spy
-Ryo was trying to rebel even before the 7 min PV
-Brain Raid actually uses Akito's mysterious power being transmitted to the other 3 Type-02, they were being cornered but as soon as BRS activated they started dominating the battle
-Shin appears alongside Jean(woman actually) while Ashley retreats using harkens
-Shin's makes the BRS system stop and then he tries to capture Akito, but Leila makes Akito snap out of it
-Then a huge E.U army appears and Shin retreats
-Julius and Suzaku arrive by train, END

Update: according to GMDX26 each leader of the 4 Holy Knights units(Raphel, Michael, Uriel, Gabriel) has pilot abilities that match a KOR.

Do you think that's a positive or a negative? I think it's appropriate.

The Knights of the Round might be the single highest order of Britannian knights in the land because they answer to nobody but the Emperor, yet it's reasonable that there would be other important knightly orders below them, from which you'd think some of the Knights of the Round would be typically recruited under normal circumstances.

Likewise, since the E.U. campaign seems to be handled less by the Emperor himself and more by factions of other high-ranking nobles, there should be plenty of military and economic autonomy. At least, of course, until Suzaku and the other Rounds intervene.

There's also the fact that the E.U. theater of war should be where the largest conventional battlefields are found, compared to local occupations like that of Japan.

People are saying Vercingetorix gives vibes of being VERY powerful and has some gimmicks not yet shown besides the horse mode transformation. It's a KOR KMF made by Camelot anyway. Akito gonna need an upgrade to beat that.

I'm dying to see the new Lancelot design but unless there's a camrip or a film piece appears we're going to wait until the PSN rip.

I can also see Julius getting a custom KMF to direct troops directly in the field.
